Thank you all so much for the sweet words! I feel as proud of this little girl as if I'd birthed her my ownself.

I can't imagine any puppy surviving away from it's momma when it's that young and little.

But she's a strong fiesty little thing that's hung in there so far - I'm amazed every time I look at her.
Connie, fortunately I only have an EX-hubby so I think Pippin will be staying with me for a long, long time. It's good to know that she has so many wonderful YT aunts who will stand in line to take her if it's ever needed, though.
I don't know what I did for God to bless me with this little girl, but I hope to keep doing it. I want Pippin to grow up healthy and happy and never have to worry about the kind of life she could have been leading. Every pup deserves that chance and I want to be the one to give it to Pippin.
